Information about "Saxenburg Private Collection Pinotage 2023"
The Saxenburg Private Collection Pinotage showcases a harmonious body, delighting the senses with a seductive bouquet of rose petals, dark plums, and ripe cherries. The palate reveals brilliant balance, enhanced by delicious accents of red and black berries, as well as hints of dark chocolate, forest floor, and leather. The finish is lingering and juicy.
The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness, fully destemmed upon arrival at the winery, and then vinified in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine was pressed and aged for 12 months in a combination of second and third-fill French oak barrels (300 L per barrel). Finally, the wine was bottled without fining.
